Message from Administration

Du bureau de M Fehr/Desde el escritorio del Sr. Fehr


Buenos dias/Bonjour:

¡Espero que todos estén bien esta tarde! J'espère que tout le monde va bien cet après-midi! We are asking for your cooperation in following traffic safety rules when you are dropping off or picking up your children at school. Please take time to find a safe place to park. Parking, pick up or drop off is not allowed in the following places:

school parking lots
within 5 metres of a crosswalk
within 5 metres of a stop sign or yield sign.

In addition to this I would ask you to consider the safety of our students when dropping them off in the morning on the school side of Westminster Drive or 8th Ave SW.  These areas are used by our school busses and it is difficult for them to safely park and load or unload students with cars in the way. We are working with the City of Calgary to adjust our signage so that we are able to properly manage these areas.

If you choose to drive into the community centre parking lot we ask you to park and walk your child to the school grounds. Please do not exit the community centre parking lot through the school parking lot.  We have many children walking through or near this area and it is not safe to have vehicle traffic there as well.

Thank you for your cooperation and attention to the safety of all of our students.

M Fehr
